Marriage Law.

THE following law enacted by con-
gress and applicable to all territories,
is being ignored. 1t would be well for
parties interested TO look into this mat
ter, as the penalty for its violation is
severe:
Section Q. Of chapter 3S7. of the statutes OF the
United States, passed at the second session
of the forty-nipth congress.
"Be il enacted by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States OF

mony, whioa certificate shall be drawn up and

Notes Trom the Hermitage.
July q, 1887.

1t will be remembered that a week or
two since We mentioned the removal Of
two Of the professors from the Agricul-
tural College at Broosings. We copy
the following statement from the Elk
ton Record Of July /. Ii seems to have
been written by some one who is con-
yersant with the whole matter:
At their last session the Board Of Re-
gents OF the Dakota Agricultural Col
iege made some changes IN the faculty,
which, after due dellDerati0n, we be-
lieve will result in great damage TO the
institution. Prof. Lewis and Miss DAN
itls we're unceremoni0usly dismissed
without cause or proyocatioL--only
that they were at the head OF their pro-
fesson. 1t is intimated, however. that
Prof. Lewis name will remain on the
catalogue as a member of the faculty.
Miss belinda G. Mason, OF the Kansas
Agricultural college, fills the chair OF
Domestic Economy. Mr.. Chas. "A. kef-
fer. Of the Minnesota Agricultural Col
lege, superintends the horticultural
SOrestry department. MI. Geo. Noyey
of the Michigan Agricultural college
will assist In Chemistry and Physics.
The former matron, Mrs. VanDOrn,
was made Librarian. Miss Nellie Fol-
som. cousin of Mrs. President Clcve-
land, and likewise Of Hon. G. A. Math-
ews, chosen preceptress. Tho question
now arises I'm the minds OF all fair
minded men and women, why were
Prof. Lewis and Miss Daniels dropped,
especially the lattery Every student In
attendance at the college was horror
stricken when the change was an
nounced. Miss Daniels was considered
the best instructor In the college and
has done more for the upbuilding of
the institution. In every way, than any
two Of the other instructors. The lady
was removed from the English Litera-
ture department and her position given
to Prof. Updyke. who by the way,
poses before the board as good Pres
byterian. when actually he is a full
fledged CongregatioDalist clergyman.
1t is generally believed the question Of
special fitness between Miss Daniels
and Prof. Updyke was not considered,
and that Miss Daniels work has been
In every respect satisfactory. Again
the question arises, why should .

by every name save n good one by them.
III the above statement be a true ver-
sion, the action OF the Board of Re-
gents calls for the condemnation OF
every citizen of the Territory. When
teacher OF marked ability is conduct
ing a department satisfactorily TO
every patron concerned, no Board Of
Regents nor any ether board should be
tolerated in removing that teacher to
give place to other applicants.
OF this donble-barreled minister we
know nothing; but fcS ministers OF the
Gospel who leave their profession for
n higher salary rs professors i'm institu-
tions of learning, our experience has
been, that many will prove inefficient
where one will succeed. With regard
to Miss Daniels, we know this much:
Seven years ago, she was a successful
and popular teacher id the High School
of village where we resided. From
recent interviews with her, we know
that she took the deepest interest in
her duties at Brorxings, and was pre-
pairing at considerable expence, to give
her time during her vacation in the in
terest Of the departments over which
she presided; also that she refused a
position in Ripon college, to accept her
professorship at Brookings, thinking
that her field of usefulness would be
more extensive than in the east.
Our acquaintance with Mr.. Mathews
commenced with our pioneer days in
Dakota, when we used TO occupy the
extra nail-keg in his Office and discuss
with him the interests Of our country.
Since which time our feelings for him
have partakeE more Of the nature OF q
friend than an acquaintance, and we
are not prepared to accept the aboveve
sion Of the matter without some farther
inquiry. But should it prove to be
through Mr.. Ms. influence that this
transaction has occurred, we have no
apology to make for the wrong that is
done the institution.
The remedy lies In the hands Of the
voters Of this district, and should be
promptly attended to.
Every school township should call q
meeting 70 consider the matter. A
committee should be appointed to In.
vestigate the subject, and the restora-
tion of those teachers be demanded;
and if their wishes are not acceded to-
let their ballot in the future be given
those who will not tamper with the in
terests of education for their own ag.
grandizement or for the interests Of
their personal friends. The educa'
tional interests of the rising generation
demands that every citizen should dc
his duty. Our institutions. of learning
must be kept above the contaminatins
influence Of political intrigue.

To The Klngsbury County Temperance
Union.

Your committee appointed to collect
statistics Of the results Of prosecution
for the violation of the liquor law in
this county respectfully submit the fol-
lowing report:
We find that from lrst to last, ten fines
of Si00 each with costs have been i'm
posed and paid into the county treasury,
with the exception of S22 of fine board
ed out in Huron Jail by one of the con-
yicted saloon-keepers. He thought that
he couldn't make money easier than by
boardalg out his fine at SO per day, but
he weakened and at the expiration OF
eleven days, paid the balance Of his
| fine.
! Without exhaustive overhauling Of
old records, we find that the major part
Of this one thousand dollars is net in
come TO the county, after deducting all
expenses of prosecution, successful and
otherwise, that we're paid by the
county.
! We find that although the settlers Of
the county have met with the usual re-
verses and losses from natural causes
incident TO pioneer life, yet our records
show surprisingly small amount of
pauperism. In fact genuine pauperism
Is unknown here. Occasionally our
commissioners appropriate a small
amount TO help some unfortunate fam
lily to get surcr footing. A county
poor-house would be of still less use
than is our county Jail. which has
not had an inmate for so long that the
date of the last occupancy is difficult TO
obtain.
Crime and criminals are compare.
tively unknown quantities in solving the
prohibition problem in this county.
At our last term Of court, held In April
last, only fourteen criminal cases ap-
peared on the docket as against "a in
licensed Beadle county. Of these four
teen cases, two were for violating the
liquor laws, which resulted in fines OF
500 each and costs. Only three OF tie
fourteen cases cost the county anything;
the total cost being too Insignificant to
be worth looking up. Aside frcn the
liquor cases there were only two of any
| Importance and one Of the two was
three years old and had been continued
! from court TO court. Since the June
term of court for 1884, when the liquor
business was so roughly handled and
made to succumb to law, the history
OF criminal prosecution is almost en-
tirely contained in the above summary
of the criminal proceedings Of the Apri
term of court for 1887.
This county contains seven villages
no saloon and only one jail. The latter
is seldom needed. Possibly a small
amount of intoxicating liquor is vendet
an the sly, but our prohibitionists art
not asleep and liquor selling in Kings
bury county is anything but safe bus
mess.
Many of our business men who were
at first in favor Of license are now de
cidedly in favor of prohibition. The!
have been converted by the actual re
suits under their own observation.
i Your committee have the honor t.
report the foregoing as some OF th'
more patent results of mo License
and enforcement of law in our goot
county Of Klngsbury.

The G.. A. II. post of Fargo passed
the following resolution concerning the
order TO have the rebel flags returned:
while we deeply fee! the injustice
Of the order TO return the flags and the
repeated insults offered those who lave
done SO much TO maintain our national
unity, we can but pity the condition OF
the man so driven 10 desperation for
something with which to make himself
solid with those whom he hoped would
reciprocate. 1t is with sense of sat
isfaction we have seen the true soldierly
spirit with which SO many Of our late
foes have spurned his trickery and
scorned to take any advantage offered
by him. We hereby enter our VIGOROUS
protest against his reported intention
OF ordering the Fourth CT july TO be re-
turned to the British. from whom II
was captured many years ago.

NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL 1S-
SOCIATYON.

The exhibits OF the Association which
consisted OF all conceivable kinds OF
school apparatus, textbooks and school-
loom work performed by pupils. occn-
pied the south half of the exposition
building. All kinds OF teaching was
represented. deaf and dumb, blind. in
dustrial and the like. These not only
on exhibitions, but the rnethud to ac-
complish their results wss exempliiied
by parties representing the institution.
The most noticeable feature In the
exhibits was that the physical sciences
were being introduced In the primary
grades, OF course in only their simple
forms, Botany and Zoology more than
the other sciences. Plants and animals
were put into the pupils hands as SOON
as they enter the school-room.
Many exhibits were there to Illus
trate the work done In the manuel la.
Dor department OF schools which had
introduced the work as part Of the
regular course. 1t Is evident that this
kind OF work is on the increase through
out the United States and those who
haye tried 1t all speak we'll OF it. Tho
exhibits showed work done by both
boys and girls.
The opening Of the session on the
evening OF the l2th was honored by q
concert Of one hour by Theodore
Thomas. orchestra OF sixty pieces, un-
doubtediy the finest orchestra in the
United States. From then until July
l6 there were three sessions day
given In various parts of the city by
members of the Association.
The exact number OF teachers in at
tendance Is not vet known but it is es-
timated that there were upwards Of
ten thousand. Dakota, although only q
territory, had representation Of about
fifty Of her heading teachers and super
intendents; and there was no person
from Dakota there but wished many q
time for q refreshing Dakota breeze.
Last week was the hottest week in

Once, at my fathers house, where 1
usually entertained him, he took up a
volume of the poems of INLAND in the
original. He studied out the similari-
ties Of some of the German words to
their English counterparts with inter-
est, and did not hesitate to ask an oc-
casional question when it was neees-
sary. l called his attention to copy
of one Of Rchter's stories, which was
translated, but he had evidently tried
this author some time TO his disgust.
The style was odious to him. Richter,
